Bad coding is the source of all exploits. That's pretty much the definition of exploiting. Using a bug to be able to do something you aren't supposed to be able to do. It's not like they intentionlly put it into the game and forbade you to use it. No warning is unnecessarily harsh but it's only a 24 hour ban.

10six is a mmofpsrts thats extremely old(1999)....10six did have levels (added later) but you bought them with ingame cash and they did nothing but let you have more bases. (they didnt make you do more damage)
It can be but then what keeps you subscribed? No developer can possibly add static content as fast as gamers burn through it. Player generated content would seem to be the answer but most players are either intent on turning everything to crap or so easily bored they wander off with everything half finished. What you end up with is a FPS style game. If you want an FPS style game there are plenty of good ones already out there. That's the problem with PvP. Its "lets go kill these guys and then those guys and that guy over there. What a gimp. Damn no more victims lets fire up HALO3." There's a sameness to it all. Sieging is nice but basically you're just killing those guys and bashing down buildings. Who wants to spend time bashing down or making buildings? The PvE people want to build but they don't want their precious pixels smashed.
It's the politics behind things that get the juices flowing but most people these days seem to be either whiney gits or jerks who just want to smash everything and piss on the broken pieces. There needs to be a bit more than stabby stabby steal your kit teabag *sigh* now what?

when i say this genre i dont mean MMO's i mean Sandbox MMO's
if this game releases with every feature promised plus more with little bugs at launch and is really fun this game will open the doors to mostly only sandbox MMO's being made
Unless it gets a few million subscribers it's not going to affect the MMO industry either way. It certainly won't wipe out theme park MMOs . Sand box MMOs are difficult to make and nearly impossible to balance. Not a recipe attractive to companies in a risk adverse industry.
They need to tighten up their nav meshes and fix their guards but yes that's an exploit. Also you need to discuss GM actions with customer service not on the forums. If they had any customer service that is.

Happiness is selfish? Should we strive for misery to be selfless? I decline your absurd premise.
Do you think that Cryptic Studios is the 'bay area developer' that holds the rights to make the Star Trek MMO?
